@Mara You should join! Are you part of it already? Check out Gilt too! They just did a Laura Mercier sale for practically 50% off! My husband is amazing. I had to ask him about it since I thought I was hallucinating. :))

AWW! You're most welcome! Thanks for commenting on mine. It's much appreciated! <3

Have you tried using those pigments with a good base? Or even NYX jumbo pencils?I usually do a white or pale beige base and that helps colors pop. SOmetimes slightly dark lids can make shadows looks blah.

I have really dark lids too and about your skin tone. A primer will just make the shadow stick and not creace.

WHat you need for your lids to look light/like the rest of your face is a shadow base - and that's what the NYX pencils are used for usually. (MAC also has of course, but more expensive.)

I personally find the NYX jumbo pencils good. :) They only cost $3 too, but you have to apply a thin layer so it doesn't crease (if you have oily lids). You can get it at cherry culture.com, ulta.com, ebay i think, and a few other place. i by mine at ulta and cherry culture. :)

If you want any NYX recommendatins: milk or yogurt. the other colors are also good, but those are just the basics that work with all eyeshadow colors. You'll be surprised what a difference a base makes. the colors look more like they do in swatches. :)

OOOhhhh.. anddd.. as for the rest of NYX products: alot of people are saying how great they are, but I dislike their lipsticks, and the blushes are powdery for my liking. You could always try one of them for yourself though, because the whole line isn't expensive.

I think their pigments are good, nail polishes, liquid eyeliners as well as a few other products.

A GIST OF THE BLABBER

Sprucing up mundane affairs gets me up in the morning. No pun intended, perverts. I am a proud holder of a handy dandy uterus! I observe discretion when words are concerned. However, there are warranted times when my mouth incessantly spews words like bullets fired during battle. Welcome to the home of my cathartic writing. This is a personal rant box consigned to posterity. (a.k.a something for me to look back at and wonder, "What the hell was I on that day?) Join me as I meander through every day life with a hint of spunk in hand.
